WE GATHER FOR WORSHIP TO BE RENEWED BY GOD’S PRESENCE THROUGH RELEVANT TEACHING AND INSPIRING MUSIC
Meet Our Pastor
Pastor Brian Belting is our Lead Pastor. He is a native of Minnesota, and has lived in California, Japan and North Carolina. He graduated from Azusa Pacific University in Los Angeles and Duke Divinity School in Durham, NC. Prior to coming to Kailua UMC, he served Kilohana UMC in Niu Valley, near Hawaii-Kai. Brian and his wife, Ashley, have three children: Hudson, 9, Grayson, 7, and Stella 6.
​
Not growing up in the church, Brian has a passion for inviting and connecting people to the table of Christ where we experience God’s love and the love of Christian community.

In her free time, Brittany enjoys running, being on the beach, and doing DIY projects.
Stephanie elm

Though originally hired for part time office help, Stephanie is now maximizing her degree + experience in managing our marketing, social media, communications and church facilities. When she’s not at the church, you can find her going on adventures with her husband, Brian, daughter, Mila + dog, Jack.
SUE Pignataro

With previous experience in nursing + healthcare, there is no one better suited to reach out to our sick, recovering and aging church members. When she’s not keeping our church members connected, Sue enjoys walking Kailua Beach, weaving lauhala hats and spending time with her three grandchildren.
